Ah, Tax Day — a time when our relationship with the United States government can get a little strained, in part because the U.S. system for filing taxes can feel pretty antiquated. But now the Internal Revenue Service has a plan to improve that, thanks to an additional $80 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act that the agency will receive over the next decade. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with ProPublica reporter Paul Kiel about what those IRS technology improvements might look like. Kiel said some of the most effective tech upgrades would be relatively easy to implement.

Social science research confirms what seems obvious: our decisions don’t occur in a void, but rather are hugely influenced by our peers and social context. Society influences our behavior but, in turn, our behavior influences society. To put it another way, our social behaviors are contagious. Because of our respective environments, we may feel compelled to cheat on our taxes, drive heavy cars, or waste energy, because that’s what our peers are doing. In his new book, Under The Influence: Putting Peer Pressure to Work, Cornell economist and New York Times columnist Robert H. Frank combines psychological insight with economics to argue that we can’t build public policy on the assumption that individuals will make completely independent decisions. Most of our choices—whether it’s to buy an SUV or an electric car, to bike or drive or take the bus to work, to smoke or quit—are shaped by the society we live in. So why don’t we use the insights of behavioral contagion to push society in the direction we want it to go? Frank argues that we should, by using government policies—and especially taxes—in a much more clever and targeted way than before.Go beyond the episode:Robert H. Frank’s Under the Influence: Putting Peer Pressure to WorkRead his essay about how individual decisions can produce cascading effects: “How peer pressure can stop climate change”For more on how behavioral cascades happen, check out the 1992 study, “A Theory of Fads, Fashion, Custom, and Cultural Change as Informational Cascades”Why tax evasion is trendy: read Jesse Eisinger and Paul Kiel’s story, “The IRS Tried to Take on the Ultrawealthy. It Didn’t Go Well.”People who buy bigger houses aren’t happier, those who spent more on lavish weddings don’t stay married longer, and other examples of why spending money on material goods can’t buy you happinessTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

“Budget cuts have crippled the IRS over the past eight years. Enforcement staff has dropped by a third. But while the number of audits has fallen across the board, the impact has been different for the rich and poor,” reads Paul Keil and Jesse Eisinger’s ProPublica expose “Who’s More Likely to Be Audited: A Person Making $20,000 — or $400,000?” Can it really be that the IRS is ignoring millions of dollars of white collar tax fraud while cracking down on some of the country’s poorest citizens? In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, Paul Keil and Jesse Eisinger join us in the studio to discuss their disturbing findings on exactly who the IRS audits.
